First of all you are marketing you serve kettle chips like they are homemade. You are selling bags of plain potatoes chips with every meal. Very misleading and disappointing. Your chicken salad tasted like pure sugar. I feel like you really need to change your menu and add to say bags of potato chips. To me that seems false advertising.

Ok coffee. Environment is noisy, long wait to get coffee, people camp out for hours at tables making it hard to find a place to sit.

This place is legit! Staff was very nice and helpful. Foods were delicious and the coffee is better than most. Definitely stop here.

Yum soda, good coffee, could do with the list of syrup flavors on their drive thru menu instead of the pick up window because I cant find that list anywhere online and I feel like such a burden asking for the nice order taker to recite the list to me.

It started out shaken, when the barista young lady made my smoothie incorrectly. She refused to take it back. I asked for the Mgr( Malaki- biblical name)?? Young but very professional. He made my smoothie himself and complimented my meal. He saved it. I love the atmosphere and planning to return soon

Smokey Row's food is always quite good! Great coffee and coffee snacks, as well as regular food. Very liberal vibe, have seen a homeless person go in one time and give some patrons and workers some serious issues, but usually an okay spot to be.

Took a while to receive our order. If you're ordering give yourself an extra 30 minutes. Just in case

Good food especially the ice cream, but the tables were not clean and they don't seem to have booster seats.

My wife and I have been here a lot of times to get breakfast and hot drinks. Took the kids here for the first time yesterday for a dinner. I would recommend their breakfast foods and the drinks here, as well as their dessert options. I got their BBQ burger yesterday, my wife got the chicken pot pie, the kids got a cheeseburger and a PB&J. I also got a caramel shake. The kids and my wife enjoyed their food. My burger was alright, but the meat patty was definitely well done, and a bit dry; it tasted a lot like a school cafeteria burger, in fact, and wasn't super great. The shake was fantastic, though. Overall, they are quite good, and though I wasn't a huge fan of the burger, I would recommend this place for breakfast, coffee or hot chocolate and other food options.

Love that this place is open until 9! Sometimes I have a hankering for a nice latté after all the other places close and don't feel like making one at home. The coffee is always good here. I just have to be careful with the specials because some of them are pretty sweet. The staff is always super cool with me modifying the amount of sugar in my drinks. The food here is also always good. I tend to go for the Pick Two with a sandwich and soup. This is a great neighborhood staple. My friends and I love meeting here! Ample seating, great place to do work/study, dine, whatever.

This location always seems to be buzzing with activity. Sometimes that makes it a challenge to find a seat. (Go at 6am and you won't have that problem) We appreciate the large meeting room, where we have hosted several meetings and classes in. Staff has been accommodating and friendly.

Best coffee shop I've ever been to! Des Moines sure has allot of awesome places to vibe and this is easily one of my favorite spots to meet with friends and family.
